Zack Snyder
Film in general but silent, classic era, Hammer, 60s-70s British film, musicals
Nancy Drew (2019) and Tom Swift
British cult TV mostly The Young Ones
Musical theatre
Champions Online
Gothic rock, punk, post-punk etc.

Is the inter-war period the exact moment American Anglophilia began? WWI being a lesson in "we've got more in common"?

Out of curiosity, what's with the Anglophilia that runs through the early Universal Monsters? I guess Dracula and Invisible Man being set in England is down to the source material, but then there's Werewolf of London as the first Wolfman film...

Countess Zaleska's motivations never really make sense, and she seems to die just because it was time to end the film.
Feels like using the Swan Lake theme again would really have worked for this one.

(She hypnotises and sucks on a woman... Pretty much all offscreen.) And seeing this pick up directly from Browning's Dracula (the bodies are literally still warm) is kind of cool.
This might actually be my favourite of the Monsters so far, but that's entirely down to Holden's presence.

I have very mixed feelings on Dracula's Daughter. The opening comedy bit is painful, and it continues Dracula 1931's belief that Whitby is some kind of district of London. (Carfax Abbey has even relocated there!) Yet, damn, Gloria Holden is just so beautiful. And there's queer subtext!

My attempt to watch all of the Universal Monsters films has reached Dracula's Daughter and Son of Frankenstein. Yes, it's Universal Monsters Kids time.

Seriously what is this? Can't see Kiss of the Spider Woman but I can see this?

Last night I woke up from a dream so unsettling I think I dissociated temporarily. Never seen a film scarier than what my subconscious can casually throw at me.

So I'm up late because tomorrow is the day I booked off for Kiss of the Spider Woman, which isn't releasing here, but oh well, it's a day off in October.

"And now it's owned by people that will kowtow to Trump. And there's a huge disconnect between the spirit of Star Trek and the spirit of Marvel Comics in which they were conceived, and the people that now own them. It's really bizarre." - Stewart Lee www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTfc...

"What's really bizarre is all those franchises now are owned by companies that have just bent over backwards for Trump... It's really weird to think that Disney owns Marvel Comics, and Marvel Comics was invented by liberal autodidact Jewish antifascists and... acid-fried hippie dropouts...

#ChampionsOnline Planned my evening around BITE launching. I love BITE. Forgot the new dev team simply cannot launch an event unbugged. Guess I'll just do Trick or Treat...

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Georgia Hale, 1925. She had recently been handpicked by Charlie Chaplin as the feminine lead in The Gold Rush (1925).

Trivia: Clara Bow wore a similar tutu-inspired outfit in a series of Richee photos for The Wild Party (1929).
